Vigorous Steps to be Taken to Pre-

LONDON, Aug "A private conference
of the Liberal Unionists was held to-day for
the purpose of discussing means for check
ing the Gladstonian reaction. The speakers
agreed in attributing their defeats partly to
the enthusiasm and energy of the Home
Rulers in assisting the Gladstonian candi-
dates, and partly to the want of united
action on the part of the Liberal Unionists
and Conservatives. Mr.. Cham berlain
pointed to the example of the Parnellites
in sending contingent TO every contest to
influence electors. In the impending cleo
ton in Northwich Mr. Dillon, I. O'Connor,
and several others are going on the stump
for the Gladstonian candidate and the
Unionists must send militant members also.

whether the government was aware that
the object of Mgr. Persico in visiting Ire
land was practically to make q political
though nominally a righteous inquiry into

was met with derisive cheers by the Par
nellites

the Government was not cogniZant of the

COLLAPSE OF THE WHEAT DEAL.
The Loss of the Clique $5,ooo,ooO or
S6,OOOOOO

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4.-Close esti-
mates rs to the losses inflicted on the bull
wheat clique by the collapse of the corner
make them between $5, ,000, 900 and $1,000
600, in addition to which tie clique is
still holding and paying storage on
enormous qualities of wheat. Settlements are
being made through the Bank of Nevada,
other local banks having had light dealings
with the full clique. II is conceded that
Mr.. Dressbach and other prominent bulls
were simply representatives of powerful
moneyed clique, and owing to the fact that
the Nevada Bank was the medium of
the deal, the statement has been frequently
published that Messrs. Mackay and Flood
were the main promoters of the bull cam
paign. George L. Brander, Vice President
of the Nevada Bank, declared that
even though Mr.. Dressbach should
fail, it would in no wise af
feet the standing of the bank. Frank
Walton, President of the Produce Exchange,
expressed the opinion that the crash WIS Che
simple result of money shortage; that the
farmers had chartered all the available
rolling stock and that wheat came
in faster than it could be paid for, The
sessions of the call board have been discon-
tinued until further notice.
Nearly every one interested has signed
the proposition made by Dressbach and no
fear of panic are now entertained. There
are no quotations ON wheat.
